Well, no, that's not what it means, and that's clear. The police force are the "thin blue line" while either side of the line is society, the 'us' Locke must be referring to. The other side of the 'thin blue line' is those that are a threat to our civilized society. It is in no way symbolic of the divide between the police force and law abiding citizens.

Well, no, that's not what it means, and that's clear. You can't just announce something and have it be fact.

Krovikan: "Its a racist flag". You can't just announce something and have it be fact. All the injustice carried out by police forces all over north america are not inextricably supported by this symbol.

The use of the flag didn't gain much currency until it was flown after a certain cop in Minneapolis nonchalantly murdered a certain black man in the street. It's pretty strongly associated with injustices carried out by police forces all over North America...
